Written by a scholar of satire and politics, Trump Was a Joke
explains why satire is an exceptional foil for absurd political
times and why it did a particularly good job of making sense of
Trump. Covering a range of comedic interventions, it analyzes why
political satire is surprisingly effective at keeping us sane when
politics is making us crazy. Its goal is to highlight the unique
power of political satire to encourage critical thinking, foster
civic action, and further rational debate in moments of political
hubris and hysteria. The book has been endorsed by Bassem Youssef,
referred to as the Jon Stewart of Egypt, and Srdja Popovic, author
of Blueprint for Revolution, who used satirical activism to bring
down Serbian dictator Slobodan Milosevic. With a foreword by
award-winning filmmaker, satirist and activist Michael Moore, this
study will be of interest to readers who follow politics and enjoy
political comedy and will appeal to the communications, comedy
studies, media studies, political science, rhetoric, cultural
studies, and American studies markets.
